Brian "Brah" Girgus, a peach of a guy, has embarked on a one-man singles club of his own. He hopes to get several records out in the next year, and this one here is apparently the second. No idea what happened to the first, but this is just fine for now. Its two classic straight-forward pop songs, recorded cheaply but not poorly, resemble early Portastatic but with Girgus' fragile, sensitive vocals replacing McCaughn's chipper whine. Some notable dudes help out, too; a-side "Static on the Station" features tambourine from former Athenian and Master of the Hemisphere Bren Mead, whereas Love Is All's Markus Gorsch (playing the Caledonia on Oct. 7th, coincidentally) drums on the flip, "Keep on Tryin'." Good times!
